The wheelchair tour moves straight onto the French Riviera Open, super series event.

The field is effectively as per the Roland Garros event but extended from 8 to 24 , arguably deeper and tougher.

Alfie and Gordon go in mens, Jordanne is joined by Lucy shuker in womens and we have Antony cotterill joining Andy Lapthorne in quads.

And in doubles in the south of France, all 3 sets of British players will pair up in their respective events.

A double , double for Alfie would be particularly exciting this week, following his French open wins.

Two big events for the wheelchair players alongside Queens and Edgbaston, which is great to see.

Most of the Brits still intact on the riviera, Lucy Shuker lost today in singles but the other 5 Brits are still in and all 6 are in doubles.

So , Alfie and Gordon won the wheelchair mens doubles title here, well done to them!

Alfie also beat Gordon in the singles semis and plays Fernandez in the final .

Alfie beat Fernandez in the French Open semis in 3 sets. But Fernandez is seeded 1 so a win here would be special. A double here with the doubles title to add to the same at the French would be very special!

And Alfie does the double double! He is surely top player in the world now, maybe ranked 2 or 3 but hes owned the field in France in both massive events ! Top man
